Lockdown

Reading Time: 3 minutes So here we are. After the increasing wierdness of the last few weeks Boris has shut us down. We’re confined to our homes, mostly. It started off feeling a bit exciting. We were sent to work at home to minimise people in the building. I

Reading Time: 4 minutes Rather randomly, one of the children, when asked where they might like to go for a day out was adamant that we should go to Halifax. I’ve nothing against Halifax, I quite like it as it has some very interesting buildings, but it seemed an
